Crosspoint Academy’s girls basketball team saw its offense disappear just when the Warriors needed it the most.

Losing a five-point lead in the fourth quarter, Crosspoint saw Tacoma Baptist make 4 of 6 field goal attempts in overtime as the Warriors fell 44-39 in a Sea-Tac League game at Gundy Hall.

Crosspoint was down by double-digits early in the game before clawing its way back, leading 32-27 early in the fourth quarter. That’s when the Warriors’ offense went missing. TB tied the game with 1:07 left when Melanie Shank made 1 of 2 shots from the foul line.

In the extra period, the Crusaders went 4-for-4 at the line in the final 20 seconds to secure the game.

The loss dropped Crosspoint to 6-4 overall and 1-1 in the Sea-Tac League South Division standings. Tacoma Baptist improved to 8-2 overall and 2-0 in league. Shank was the only consistent scorer on either side, scoring 21 points — her season average — and grabbing nine rebounds.

“This is the kind of game I play for,” said Carlie Rouse, the Warriors’ lone senior. “You have to take your hats off to Tacoma Baptist. We’re a young team, and we have areas we need to improve on to make the next level.”

One of those areas will definitely be free-throw shooting. The Warriors only got to the foul line seven times, and made one shot. Tacoma Baptist was 10 of 18 from the line.

“That’s something I can teach them,” Barton said of their foul shooting, “but they have to go out there and shoot them.”

Crosspoint junior post Breyenne Mosey, who drew double and triple teams every time she touched the ball, led her team with 15 points and 16 rebounds. She came into the contest averaging 21 points per game.

Sophomore guard Elise Peterson had 12 points and Rouse added 10.

“We want to be a team that spreads out the points,” Rouse said, “not just one person. We have each other’s back on the court. When Breyenne’s not making her shots, we have to take the open shots and make them.”
